He also chooses to opine: "I think the Broncos did the right thing in chartering a big plane and attending en masse the funeral for Darrent Williams Saturday in Texas".  Why is of any consequence to anyone that Peter "moral-compass" King thought that it was the right thing to do?  What an ass.

I also noticed that.  What were their other options?  Not go to the funeral?

They could have rented limos and driven there, but it's probably too soon for that.

 And if you've got to shift blame, then blame Gramatica for not getting in the way of the guy who made the tackle.  

Somewhere, the 6'5", 218 lb Mike Vanderjagt nurses a bottle of Canadian Club and smiles.

Intrepid Reader: Peyton Manning

Stupid liquored up kicker.

Also, did anyone else notice that Belichek cut the sleeves on his hoodie to make is short-sleeved?  What the hell is that about?

King's most predictable garbage of the year; he blows Tom Brady and Belichick lovingly (says Brady is the best quarterback we'll ever see), he ranks the Bears all the way down at No, 6, and he makes excuses for Tony Romo.

QuoteBut did you see the ball that was snapped to Tony Romo on the botched field-goal hold? Looked very shiny, perhaps slippery. It was one of the "K'' balls. Each game, 12 balls used only for special teams plays are kept on the sidelines, and when there's a punt or a kickoff or a placekick, one of those 12 balls is put into play. The ball came back to Romo on a good snap, and as he transferred the ball in his hands to put it down for the kick, it slipped from his grip. Wish I had a chance to ask him about it after the game. The way it slipped made the ball look like some of the waxy sheen was still on it from having just come out of the box.

Awful.  If you want to play the Mariotti game with Peter King, simply read his articles until you get to the phrase "I spent some time with" and then stop, as what follows will be some sort of written hand job for whoever it was he spent time with.  Nobody gets Stockholm Syndrome quicker than Peter King.

I've already heard the "slick ball" defense on the radio this morning.  Jerry Jones is asking the league to look into it.  It's stupid.  I hate all things Cowboys, and I'm sick of the Romo hype, but the kid stood up and took the blame for the loss, so just let it go.  You can't change the outcome of the game, so there's no point in overshadowing and undermining a character move by your young QB.  And if you've got to shift blame, then blame Gramatica for not getting in the way of the guy who made the tackle.

Yeah, I just watched it again (Darryl saying, "this is the greatest night of my LIFE") and still don't get it.  Either I'm an idiot, or this is like Cow Tools.  I'm leaning toward the former.

I'm thinking that they just had to shoehorn the product placement in there, and didn't feel like writing an actual joke to go with it.

The most awesome crying scene EVER.

"So, you're PMS-ing pretty bad, huh."

You complete me.

What I want for Christmas:

4. Penguins to keep January, February and March interesting.

Does continuous speculation about what city they're going to move to count?

Murtons Kids is reserved.

We're no gingers.  And the Murt hasn't been lurking around my area, as far as I know.

Slaky, for both the screen name and actual name, I've got it narrowed down to either J-Bug or Hench.

Have you run this by the Sports Gal yet?

Yeah, it was written on the back of my hand, so she got a close look at it.

Pitchers & Catchers report to Dr. Andrews' office.

Also SB XLI which, assuming the Bears' "D" doesn't suffer another pants-crapping in the playoffs, we'll have a vested interest in.

But other than that?  Between the Super Bowl and P's & C's reporting, February is the absolute worst month for sports fans.

Also, Mrs. CPT is scheduled to give birth that month.  I'll post the footage.

Damn, I'm joining this party late, but I'll still throw in my 2 cents...

Goose Island Christmas Ale anyone?

Shit Beer: Fat Cat - that is the worst beer I have ever had.  My old roommate found a twelver of it in Minneapolis.  The can is orange with a purple cartoon cat on it.  Looks like a can of orange crush.

I just want to say how impressed I am that no one here has mentioned Heineken.  If one could have a genuine hatred for a beer, I do and it's for that crap.

I think this stuff is a malt beverage, but I'm a fan of Steel Reserve when I'm looking for something cheap with a high alcohol content.

If you're talking 40s, it's St. Ides or Olde English or nothing. I'm not wasting my $4.00 on something inferior.  Although, I was known to down a few Coquis in my day.

40's cost 4.00 now?!?  Back in my day, we could get a 40 of OE or Mickey's for under 2 bucks.

Ah, it doesn't matter what you drink, it's all just warm piss in the end.

In case Margaret Meade came back from the dead and studied the culture that is Desipio, she'd easily be able to conclude that, when there's no baseball, we drink a lot and listen to music?  Do I have that right?

BTW Pancho made me feel as bad about my beer as you music snobs make me feel about my musical tastes.  For shame!!!

I like Tequila.  It's kind of like beer.

As for music, it's an art.  And art is for the gheys.  Ergo, anybody who likes music is ghey.  So maybe Margaret Meade would conclude that Desipio is the internet's most interesting Turkish bathhouse.

Beat it nerd.

History majors are gay too. You're now part ghey/gay/gey.

We are not!  We're just bookish.

I prefer an honest beer for an honest price... that's right, I drink the High Life. At a bachelor party in SD I brought back 3 cases of bottles, everyone b#$ched and moaned, yet I had constant beer that weekend as no one else would drink it.. long live the High Life.

Mess with the High Life and the High Life will mess with you...
